Costa Rica and Mexico have qualified for the U20 World Cup. The USA go after their spot tonight.

The Lakers played a pretty brilliant game defensively last night and got the result they needed. Sure they lost, but with the two goal cushion from the first leg, they did exactly what they had to do. Jamison Olave was a giant out there. Not only scoring the very important potential tie breaking road goal, but his defense was almost perfection. Nat Borchers did a great job along side Olave too. The whole team played really good defense. What a win!

The tournament is in the important Quarterfinals, and 4 teams will advance to the World Cup in Colombia. The winners of each game are the advancers, or is that advancees.

Costa Rica & Mexico are the first two to advance, each winning big on Tuesday. Costa Rica's win was especially impressive in that they gave up the first goal just 3 minutes into the game, and then scored 6 unanswered!
